I’ve taken down all the winter decor (okay, I didn’t have too much of it cause most of it was Christmas decor), but now I am ready to think spring.
Forget about spring cleaning, I’m talking about spring decorating! This year for my mantle I have decided to go with a theme “Plant a Seed” and focus on flowers. What is more spring than flowers?
So to start the decorating, I created this free printable vintage seed packet art to share with you.

When I first decided to use seeds and flowers for my mantle, it wanted to incorporate seed packets. I looked at the seed packets I had, but they are not that pretty.
They have been torn on the top, then rolled down or stapled to close them again, covered in dirt, and the pictures are just not as beautiful as the art that was used on vintage seed packets.
I started looking to buy some vintage seed packets, they are not that pricey, but they are small and not something that I can really make a full mantle display out of.
So why not make a free printable that looks like a vintage seed packet? The best of both!
This 8 1/2 x 11 print has a slightly worn, vintage look with a watercolor lilac picture. I’m really loving it!
I think this is the perfect jumping off point for my new spring mantle.

UPDATE: What’s better than one beautiful vintage seed packet art print? Why four vintage seed packet printables of course! I have decided to update this loved printable and include 3 more flowers. Click here for all the details.
I can’t wait to put the whole mantle together. Just a few more projects to finish and it will be ready to go!
I need to sign up ASAP! You Have So Many Great Crafts here. I esp.love all of the Seed Packet Printables! I came here for the St.Patrick’s🍀Day Shadow Box & saw the others.See you soon.😃
Kati,
I love this beautiful print (almost as much as I love lilacs!), so I signed up to be able to access it, and never received the email with the password in it. Is it no longer available? I know I am a Johnny-come-lately, here.
The print is still available Laura. Maybe check in your spam or promotions folder? If you don’t find it, try emailing me back and I can help troubleshoot.
This is going to be perfect to replace four framed Christmas art prints. Thanks!
Yay! That is exactly what I used them for and they are perfect for spring!
Nice, but lillies. and tulips grow from bulbs, not seed, which takes away from authenticity.
Yeah, I know that but I chose my favorite spring flowers anyway. I guess technically this printable could have been applied to the front of a bulb package too 😉
I love lilacs…especially this print. I have subscribed to the library, successfully put in the password but I still cannot figure out how to download and print this beautiful print. But, I’m not giving up. Please advise. And Thank You!
So sorry for the issue Jeanne. Once you go to https://housefulofhandmade.com/library-free-downloads/ you will enter the password. It is case sensitive. Then you will see pictures with all the projects available to download. If you click the title of the project that is larger it will take you to the tutorial (so it is easy to find once you get your downloads) but if you click the name of the specific download you want in smaller text below (the lilac print only has one but other projects have more than one file). The PDF file will open in another internet window and then you can use your PDF controls to download/save it to your computer or just print it right there.
There is no way you can download them i tried for days. Theres suppose to be a space between words but it doesnt work. I tried to explain this but got nowhere. Ive been trying for 2 days. I give up
I am truly sorry it is not working Susan. I alway recommend you copy and paste the password from the email so it is typed correctly when there is an issue. If that does not work, let me know and I would be happy to email you the PDFs. Again, so sorry!
I have clicked on links to get the printables at least 30 times. I added my name to the email list to get those. It’s kinda bizzare. No printables found, that were available to print.
The printables are all in the library here: Subscriber Library. You will get an email from me with a password, but not if you are already subscribed. If you are already a subscriber, check the bottom of each email for the password in case you forgot.
